Eryx

Eryx is one of Dante's Demon weapons in the upcoming DmC: Devil May Cry.

Description
Eryx refers to Dante's two glowing gauntlets. Given that they are a Demon weapon, they glow red. They also look like disproportionately swollen fists or boxing gloves.

Gameplay
Slower than Rebellion but faster than Arbiter, Eryx is an effective close-quarters weapon. It's nowhere near as long-range as Dante's other weapons, but it can be quite powerful. All of Eryx's punches--including the launcher--can be charged to deal more damage and knockback. Demo footage shows Dante breaking open walls, sending tankers flying, and even juggling Tank Drones with it.

Movesets
As a Demon-class weapon, Eryx is used by holding / in tandem with the other face buttons.

Trivia

 * The charged uppercut is called the Rising Dragon. Its name is an English translation of Street Fighter's Shoryuken, and its animation resembles it greatly.
